Finally coming up for air,still holding tight to one another,literally breathless again. We laid there a moment in one another's arms,silent except for our ragged breath and our pounding hearts I'm sure we can both hear.

"Girl we gotta quit doing that,"Rae manages to get out pulling back enough to look in each other's eyes.

"kissing?"

"no baby,don't be silly,"she smiled kissing my lips softly seeing the disappointment in my eyes,"just the not be able to breath thing. it's tough but breathing is a good thing ya know."

"true."

"so what time you wanna go over to your place?"

"I dunno what are you thinking?not positive I even want to get out of bed."

"we gotta get up sometime sweetheart,I mean walking in on us naked,in bed,wrapped up together,probably isn't THE best way to find out about us."

"yeh maybe not, though Eddie found out that way. Well topless not naked but still."I laughed thinking about the look on Eddie's face,"You're right baby of course,"I smiled and kissed her again.WOW,I swear the kisses get better everytime.

"silly,"she smled at me tucking a wayward strand of hair behind my ear,"

"Baby,"

"yeh?"

"I do have to do one thing today speaking of Eddie."

"Hmm?"

"well I have to talk to Chantel's parents."

"what? girl I am officially confused what the hell have YOU gotta talk to them for?"Rae is cute even confused,man I have it BAD.

Letting out a sigh,"Well...I didn't exactly plan on making love with you last night..."

"baby I already said I didn't wanna rush you I though every..."

"nononononononoo baby I WANTED to am I am oh so very glad we did and honestly can't wait to again," I grin,"well see I ..umm..well ..ya know when I went downstairs before you yesterday after Eddie got here?"

"yeh,"still with a look of uncertainty,

"well I really wanted to surprise you but well...you remember when we were al younger and used to go up to the mountains?"

"Mhmmm,"again she nodded but confused still.

"well uhh his cousin still has those cabins and well we were talking before you came downstairs and then again when Chantel dragged you off at the movies. Oh baby I wanted it to be a surprise but we made plans to surprise you both. You & Chantel. and well uh the thing is...Rae,"I took her face into my hands,"baby will you go away with me? This weekend Eddie and I wanted to take you and Chantel away for the weekend and it's all but planned. I wanted so badly to be alone with you."

"Oh Chels, baby of course I'll go.I would love to. How though I mean.."

"Well Eddie worked it out with his folks and mine and yours somehow but he asked me to talk to Chantel's parents, tell her she would stay with me and you but of course it would be me and you and then the two of them,their anniversary is friday I think."

"Baby I don't know what to say, you planned this well I know Eddie helped but you wanted to do this for us, because you love me. All of this is because you do. I love you Chels."She pulled me on top of her again kissing me so passionately,arms wrapped around me.Soft,slow sensual kisses,that I hoped and thought may never end.My hands moving over her body,just over 24hours ago we shared our first kiss,and there is such a sweet love between us as though we'd been together forever and a fiery white hot passion of newfound lovers.

I saw a movie once,the title of which eludes me but the thought sticks. It said something to the effect the French have a philosophy that we are allowed as many lovers in life as we wish to take,but only one great passion. This woman I hold in my arms,my best friend now lover,my girlfriend. This makes me realize how true that is,Raven is my passion, my one great true love.

Lyrics-Wynonna-"My Angel Is Here"

They say, there's a state of heaven

Somewhere, way beyond the clouds

I know, there's a piece of heaven in every little thing that you do

cuz every time you walk in the room

My angel is here, my angel is here

Lying, saying I ain't lonely

Crying, when no one sees my tears

Dying, whenever love's disowned me

Each night I've prayed for help to get through

And when I felt you near me I knew

My angel is here, my angel is here

I'm so protected and heaven's so near

When I am under your wing

My wounds are healed, and my spirit is clear

So come on angel, make my heart sing

And when I'm lost and alone, who will find me?

Who's there whenever I call

show me the way to the strength that's inside me

Pick me up, whenever I fall

You say, love is no conitions

Each soul, is free to come and go

Stay strong, I don't need permission

cuz paradise is waiting for me

Every time I hear my heart speak

My angel is here

My angel is here

My angel is here

My angel is here
